People have been arguing over hypnosis for over two centuries, but it has not yet been fully explained how it actually happens. We know what people do under hypnosis, but it is not as clear why they do it. What we do understand is the general characteristics of hypnosis, and in some ways in which it works.

It is a trance state characterized by extreme suggestibility, relaxation and heightened imagination. It's not a sleep, actually quite the opposite. The subject is alert the whole time and fully conscious but they block out most of the disturbance around them. It is more like daydreaming, or the feeling of "losing yourself" in a good book or movie.

When you go deep in to a imaginary world like in daydream or a book you can loose your self to the extreme that something fully imaginary can cause you to feel sad, happy or angry. This can be categorized as self-hypnosis and then most of us hypnotize our self on a daily basis.

In conventional hypnosis, you approach the suggestions of the hypnotist, or your own ideas, as if they were reality. If the hypnotist suggests that your hands are very heavy you feel the sensation and might not be able to lift them. If the hypnotist tells you that you are eating ice cream feel the taste and cooling in your mouth and throat. You will feel any feeling hypnotist suggests. But the whole time you will know it is not real, it is like an intense kids play, you are pretending and you know it.

In this state you feel very relaxed and uninhibited because you stop focus on your every day worries and doubts that usually keep your attention just like watching a movie and forgetting about everything else until it is over.

In this state, you are also highly suggestible and it is like your self-important flies out of the window. You usually embrace what ever the hypnotist tells you to do (as long as it is within your morality standard) like a kid who goes into a fun game. That is what makes stage hypnotist shows so hilarious. Grooved up hypnotize people are singing, barking and dancing at the command of the hypnotist without any concern of how they look or what other people think. A hypnotist can't however get anybody to do anything they don't want to; it is just that hypnotize people's fear of embarrassment is gone.

Most common question I get about hypnosis is; if people can be hypnotized against their will. And of course an other question follows "Can I hypnotize women/men to like me". Well the answer is basically no. You can't hypnotize people against their will. But you can use hypnosis to help you attract others.

Hoping this might Help..........:bravo:

Can anyone give me some tips/instructions on self-hypnosis? And what are some things it can be good for? I've been in a bit of a dry spell lately with my dream recall, so if it can help with that, that would be cool.

What about meditation? I've always been curious about meditation. What is that good for? How can I do it?
